Description

The Series 4000 Remote Photo-Switches are ideally suited for the detection of both hot and cold metal or product over long distances in hostile locations. They may be arranged and used as a Thru-Beam Barrier Device or as a Retro-Reflective Device utilizing a Reflector or a Diffuse Device by directly reflecting off the product itself. The Series 4000 Remote Photo-Switches are particularly useful where the product is at times too hot to permit the use of proximity or normal photo-electric sensors, yet radiates insufficient Infrared (IR) energy for detection with hot product sensors. These Photo-Switches utilize powerful Gallium Arsenide Transmitter cells, their pulsed infra-red beam penetrates substantial steam over long distances and operates with heavy lens contamination. They will also accommodate substantial lens mis-alignment. Total flexibility in view on the many options available. Namely, single or dual controllers with transmitter and receiver lenses connected via silicone lead and/or sheathed optic leads. A combination of both connection techniques enables mounting of the remote lenses close to the process and the controller in an accessible area. The Series 4000 controller comprises either an IP66 watertight aluminum enclosure or alternatively for multiple mounting, compact plug-in modules. The lenses heads are sealed units encased within a stainless steel tubular housing. Electronic Transmitter and Receiver lenses are available with a maximum temperature rating of 55 °C. Optic lens heads are available in a standard temperature version rated 180 °C maximum and a high temperature version rated 400 °C maximum . Various lens mounting brackets and facilities are available to accommodate installation requirements. Mounting technique may be selected on the basis of air purge, air purged/cooled and air purged/water cooled. A universal lift/swivel stand is available to aid in adjustment and alignment.
